Question 955507: Form a polynomial function whose real zeros and degree are given. Use 1 as the leading coefficient. Graph the function.
Zeros: 2,-3,4 (multiplicity 2)
I was confused because it says the degree is given but it is not. Would it be set up like this: f(x)=(x-2)^2(x+3)^2(x-4)^2?

It's either that or it's
f%28x%29=%28x-2%29%28x%2B3%29%28x-4%29%5E2
where the multiplicity of 2 only relates to the root 4.
